DS Fanboy travels Around the Interweb to whine about hard games


Siliconera has started doing these great roundtables called "From Around the Interweb" in which various game writers opine on a topic. The last one was about the DS Style series-- check it out for some interesting discussion on non-games!

This week, Spencer was kind enough to invite me along for a discussion of hard games. This week's panel included Spencer, RawMeatCowboy from GoNintendo, CheapyD from CheapAssGamer, PSP Fanboy's Andrew Yoon (who has made mysterious appearances here!), and, for some reason, me! We were all able to reach a consensus on the divisive issue of whether or not hard games were, in fact, hard. I had a great time and I was honored to be in such illustrious company!

Can we get a rousing fanboy welcome for ...

We here at DS Fanboy would like to welcome yet another new blogger to the ranks: James Konik! James is joining us from the faraway land of Japan, and we hope to abuse his linguistic abilities round out our global coverage with a man on the ground in the land of gaming heaven. By way of greeting, he had this to say:

"I'm originally from sunny England, I like most games, particularly adventure games with pirates in, and I hope to flip the lid on new and unexpected areas of the Nintendo fanboy world."

Sunny England and pirates, eh? Well, at least he has a sense of humor. Please make him welcome, and give the poor guy a few days to adjust!

What's this? Another blogger?

We've got another new addition to the DS Fanboy team to parade in front of the masses: Eric Caoili! Eric is tentatively excited to be joining us here in converted outhouse The Man calls our "office," though it may be that all the sharp objects are putting him off. By way of introduction, he had only this to say:

"May we never regret this."

Indeed. Well, stop in, say hi and give Eric the Fanboy welcome he deserves, but please hold all tomatoes, rotten eggs, and rolls of toilet paper for at least a week to give the poor guy a chance to adjust.

Two new bloggers so far! What say you, Fanboy reader? Are you pleased that our faceless stable of dancing monkeys is expanding? We dance for your amusement, after all.

Can we get a big fanboy welcome for ...

... the latest addition to the Nintendo Fanboy staff, longtime reader JC Fletcher! He will be joining us here as soon as he gets accustomed to the chains The Man employs to keep us in these tiny, tiny cubicles. By way of greeting, he said:

"Hello, Fanboy readers! I'm thrilled to be joining the team and helping to provide your daily meta-Nintertainment. I hope we can have a very happy and well-adjusted poster/commenter relationship.

I promise I'll never say "Nintertainment" again."

He signed a contract immediately after, proving he will never again use that word. Give him a few days to adjust, folks. After that, do what you must.

And while we're at it, an update on the state of our search. If you were contacted for the second round, we are still considering your submissions, as we have room for at least one more blogger. If you have not received anything from us so far, then we're sorry -- this wasn't your time. We got a ton of great applications, though, and we offer heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent in samples.
